Classic Coen Brothers. Really enjoyed it despite nothing really happening.
I got mixed messages about the meaning of the film; It showed the futility of worrying or it was a story about a family cursed. Hence the opening scene. Or maybe both.
Either way the film made up for the shitfest that was Burn after Rreading.

i think it's saying that god has a plan, and to trust in it even when you can't see the point.

it also says to hunker down cuz shit is bout to hit the fan.

Burn after Reading really was terrible.

I wonder how much of Serious Man is based on truth, the well-shaped series of anecdotes is really what makes the film so good and believable. The introspective Jewish caricatures are perfectly balanced, not so off beat that you write it off but not so boring that you don't really care about them. IMO it's definitely been crafted from real experiences in Minnesota of the Coens' youth. Probably a semi-autobiographical work. It's the kind of film that only gets made once you're established at making good films, it has that artistic free reign to it that you only get with established artists, writers and film makers.

No Country for Old Men is still their finest hour for me, incredible film.

The Big Lebowski and Barton Fink for me.

I didn't think that Burn After Reading was that bad. I came out of the cinema feeling mildly entertained, sure it wasn't a masterpiece but it certainly wasn't the worst film I've seen.

Werd. Can't believe they did that. There was no reason to remake it. The original is brilliant.
